About this property
An exceptional opportunity to acquire a truly unique home, offered to the market for the first time in over 26 years. Set within approximately one-third of an acre, Birch Street is a beautifully converted former Police Station offering spacious and versatile accommodation throughout.
A standout feature is the impressive 22ft x 15ft gallery, complete with a fully accessible disabled WC and adjoining studio, providing excellent potential for a self-contained annexe, home office, gym, creative workspace, or even a business venture. Previously operating as a café, this versatile space comfortably accommodated six tables with seating for up to 24 customers, offering excellent potential for those looking to run a business from home, subject to any necessary consents.
The main residence offers a generous kitchen/dining room with French doors opening onto the stunning rear garden and surrounding countryside. Additional ground-floor accommodation includes a utility room, WC, spacious lounge, and separate sitting room.
The first floor comprises three double bedrooms and a family bathroom, while the second floor provides a further two double bedrooms, making this an ideal family home.
Externally, the property benefits from a gated entrance, extensive parking, and a substantial rear garden enjoying breathtaking countryside views. The current owners regularly enjoy sightings of local wildlife, including deer, foxes, and barn owls.
Properties of this character, size, versatility, and setting are rarely available, making Birch Street a truly remarkable home that must be viewed to be fully appreciated.
